A recent Fortnite leak reveals a different type of Festival mode called Music Battle that could become available in the future. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has brought a music-based mode, which requires players to nail every note and build a streak using instruments. This rhythm game features an extensive lineup of songs and lets players form a band of four artists. The good news is that Fortnite Festival will remain permanent and receive content updates on a regular basis.
Fortnite Festival takes players to a stage where they can hit buttons in time to catch the rhythm and accumulate points that can be used to get rewards. Through the battle pass, they can unlock various Jam Tracks, which allow them to play songs in the battle royale. The musically-inspired mode offers a fun experience and shares similar gameplay mechanics with Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Also, Fortnite Festival has a unique tracklist that consists of hit songs, including Lady Gaga's Romance and The Weeknd's Blinding Lights.
A Fortnite leak from BeastFNCreative has revealed a new Festival mode named Music Battle, which allows players to use instruments as weapons and go up against each other. As its name suggests, the Music Battle mode will probably combine the battle royale with musical flair to offer a unique gameplay experience. There is a strong chance that players will defeat other bands using instruments, such as drums and guitars, to emerge victorious.
On Reddit, fellow Fortnite players shared their thoughts on the leaked Music Battle mode, claiming it will likely be similar to Guitar Hero. Some also said the developers should add powerups to the mode, which provide them with useful buffs.
According to some recent Fortnite leaks, the game will soon receive an assortment of content, including a new collaboration with the Devil May Cry franchise. The developers will allegedly add new weapons to the LEGO mode, with one being the Gravity Gun that allows players to manipulate surrounding objects. Over the past weeks, there have also been speculations about Chapter 5 Season 2, which suggest that it will be themed around Greek Mythology.
Apart from the Festival mode, Fortnite's latest season added tons of content, including an overhauled map with more POIs. It expanded the character lineup for the Battle Pass with Solid Snake and Peter Griffin skins and introduced the sandbox LEGO mode and weapon attachments. Also, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 brought some quality-of-life changes, such as the ability to consume medkits while moving, based on player feedback.
